>>2867717>The Leica S is almost twice as much for the camera body.It's also retardedly expensive, and very nearly literally nobody owns one. That's like saying that a Maserati GranTurismo isn't expensive, because it's less expensive than a Veyron.
A 40 million dollar house isn't that expensive, because look, Someone over there has a 90 million dollar house!
Compare it against what the normal market is, and yes, it's fucking expensive as shit.
It's also not any more compact than a DSLR, and why the hell would it ever be? A lens that covers a medium format sized sensor is going to be double buttfuck the size of a full frame lens, OR, it'll be dramatically slower, with less features, and will still cost more money.
